Kendall Jenner is in a crisis

From an article in the news today:

"Kendall Jenner found herself in trouble after she was accused of cultural appropriation for tweeting a fist emoji that some complained was darker than her skin tone."

No, I am not making this up.

Who gave birth to these ignorant little ****wit's that think this is something worthy of a complaint? And why is the media giving it any notice whatsoever?

You have to wonder where our country is headed when you read about how much truly stupid **** goes on in the world today. I guess I need to blame Al Gore, because he invented the Internet, right? Social media is such a pox on mankind.

Apparently, she's the offspring of the transgender/transvestite known as Bruce or Caitlyn Jenner, and the mother of all those irritating Kardashian girls.

I'm thinking a Jenner is similar to a Kardashian, which is an exercise machine for black guys.

Not saying I disagree 100%, but I am saying such comments are best shared in PARF.

Keep it civil.

Forget Jenner, that's not the story. The aggrieved party could've been any cultural idiot.

The story is that she was accused of cultural misappropriation by using an emoji that someone perceived is darker than her skin color. I can't imagine what sort of life you must lead to make that a fight worth fighting.

Tthere are some truly worthless people in this world.

It's a mid-tone fist, see it for yourself in this link.

Kendall Jenner accused of cultural appropriation online | Daily Mail Online


Some people just have hate in their heart, no fixing that.

Looks like a perfect skin tone match to me if that was the issue.

I think most people in the comments section of that link have it right, a few lost people did wander in though.

Fact is I bet the majority of the guys in the forum have dated outside of their race, and more than just a few married outside of their race.

I thought you were one of them, what's the beef?

You don't like dark meat?

I don't think the woman in question is married, and no kids.

I just took a weekend where I did not look at my phone, facebook, or watch any tv. I was amazed at how much happier I was by Sunday evening.

And maybe half right according to these websites, but why we should care who is dating who as grown men?

Maybe teenaged girls care, but really...... aren't we better than that?

I remember blowing beer out of my nose watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" where he was in the south and they were butchering a hog for a huge cookout.

They got to the part where they placed the hog carcass in scalding water and began the process of removing the hair and bristles until "..it was slicker and cleaner than a Kardashian's 'taint!".

I thought maybe she had gotten one too many of those lip injections or something.
